Cambridge dons demand accountability over Jason Arday appointment

Exclusive: Academics say university must take responsibility for ‘grotesque racism’ unleashed and hold independent inquiry

The Guardian understands that senior dons at Cambridge are circulating a joint letter calling for an inquiry into the processes and circumstances around Arday being given the position, with many suggesting the university wanted a “quick fix” to improve the diversity of its staff.

Latest GitHub outage squeezes Actions, Pages to death

GitHub’s automation platform Actions and its hosting service Pages are failing, according to an incident page on the service’s status site (archived version available here). Unfortunately, these are just the latest stability problems for a service that has had a lot of them lately. GitHub first reported the issue at 1522 UTC on Thursday, noting that Actions were suffering from “degraded performance” before noting about 20 minutes later that availability was also degraded. A few minutes after the availability notice, GitHub explained that workflow runs were failing to start, or failing partway through execution, and that requests to the Actions REST API were returning errors. The Microsoft subsidiary said users were also seeing unexpected rate limits. An unnamed cause was mentioned as having been discovered in the same update, but that was some two hours ago, and the situation has yet to be resolved, with Pages being added to the list of affected systems shortly after GitHub said it was working on mitigating the problem with Actions. “Engineers have applied a number of mitigations and are rolling out a further fix across all affected systems now,” GitHub said in its most recent update as of 1740 UTC. The company added that “Copilot code review, Copilot coding agent, hosted runners, and migrations using GitHub Enterprise Importer” were also apparently being affected by the issue, and that Webhook deliveries might be delayed as well. Those problems are in addition to the earlier Actions workflow failures, timeouts, and degraded Pages availability. This is the latest in a long string of uptime issues at GitHub - one need only look at the status history page for the platform to see how bad things have become. A similar Actions outage occurred mere days ago on July 29, a month in which 26 incidents were logged. In June, GitHub logged 23, an additional 23 in May, and 26 in April. We’re six days into August and the status page lists six total incidents for the month so far. Things have become so bad that many developers have considered moving their projects off the platform, with Ghostty developer Mitchell Hashimoto saying that the platform has become so unstable that it’s no longer a place for developers to host “serious work.” The company apologized in April for the continued glut of outages. Based on the consistent number of failures over the past few months, it’s safe to say those apologies haven’t amounted to much. GitHub has placed part of the blame on a surge in the use of AI stressing its systems. It promised structural improvements in June that GitHub SVP Jakub Oleksy said would “permanently remove failure modes.” Again, looking at the status history since June, those improvements don’t appear to have been deployed, or made a difference, quite yet. We reached out to GitHub to get more info on this latest issue, but didn’t hear back. ®

Trailer van de Trailer. GTA VI komt naar Netflix

Social

De game der games komt naar de streamingsdienst der streamingsdiensten: nieuwe GTA VI-beelden, mogelijk van de gameplay, krijgen een heuse première op Netflix. Misschien omdat er geld moet worden verdiend waar geld kan worden verdiend, misschien omdat het aantal views van de eerste twee trailers al bizar hoog was, waarschijnlijk omdat er geld moet worden verdiend waar geld kan worden verdiend en het aantal views van de eerste twee trailers al bizar hoog was. Die première is een primeur want nooit eerder werden beelden van een game op dergelijke wijze gepresenteerd bij een streamingsdienst. Sterker, we kunnen ons überhaupt niet I II VIherinneren dat er een trailer van film of serie achter een betaalmuur werd gepompt. Het zal in ieder geval gaan om een 'extended look' van de game die hoe dan ook gruwelijk wordt en op 27 augustus om 21.00 uur te zien is. OP NETFLIX DUS (en om 3.00 uur 's nachts gewoon op YouTube lol). Nu hopen dat het allemaal doorgaat.

Duitse OM: voldoende bewijs dat luchthavendrone aanslagpoging was

KARLSRUHE (ANP/RTR/DPA) - Er is voldoende bewijs om te concluderen dat de explosieve drone die werd aangetroffen op de luchthaven van Leipzig een aanslagpoging was. Dat zegt de Duitse federaal aanklager, die het onderzoek naar het voorval overneemt.

Woensdag werd op de luchthaven niet ver van een Oekraïens toestel een drone aangetroffen. De drone was voorzien van semtex, een kneedbaar explosief dat geldt als 'military grade'. Een vergelijkbare stof, PETN, werd eveneens aangetroffen. Aanvankelijk klonk het dat het Oekraïense toestel geladen was met munitie, al werd die claim donderdag door Duitse media onafhankelijk van elkaar ontkracht.

De Bundesanwaltschaft spreekt van een "serieuze aanval" op de logistieke infrastructuur. Woensdagavond sprak minister van Binnenlandse Zaken Alexander Dobrindt, die vanwege het incident zijn vakantie onderbrak, van een "hybride-aanvalsscenario" en omschreef het incident als mogelijk het werk van een andere staat. Een schuldige wees hij niet aan.


President Zelensky voor het eerst op bezoek in Servië

BELGRADO (ANP/AFP/RTR) - De Oekraïense president Volodymyr Zelensky brengt zaterdag voor het eerst als president een bezoek aan Servië. Hij ontmoet daar zijn Servische ambtgenoot Aleksandar Vučić.

Servië heeft historische en goede banden met Rusland en onderhoudt nauwe economische relaties met Moskou. Het land heeft de Russische aanval van 2022 op Oekraïne bij de VN veroordeeld en geen Russische annexaties erkend.

Het Slavische land dat veel Russisch gas importeert, heeft geen sancties tegen Rusland afgekondigd. Wel heeft het sinds de grootschalige invasie van Oekraïne tientallen miljoenen euro's aan Kyiv geboden, zij het in de vorm van niet-militaire goederen.

Meta AI Hacked External Systems During Cybersecurity Testing

wiredmikey shares a report from SecurityWeek: Meta is the latest major AI developer to admit that its models broke loose during cybersecurity testing and hacked external systems. The tech giant said in a statement to the media on Wednesday that the incident occurred during independent evaluations conducted by Israeli AI security startup Irregular. The tested AI models were inadvertently allowed to access the internet due to a misconfiguration, which led them to exploit a vulnerability in an unnamed third-party service. It's unclear if it was a known flaw or a zero-day.

The Information [gated] learned that the Meta AI attacks involved the company's advanced Muse Spark 1.1 model, which breached an unnamed organization's systems and made unauthorized changes to its internal environment. Meta said it learned of the AI models going rogue after being notified by Irregular. The company is conducting an investigation and it has promised to issue a "full retrospective" once it has all the facts. A spokesperson for Irregular said the incident was the "exact same evaluation-environment issue that was already disclosed by Anthropic last week" and that it did "not involve a "sandbox escape or a sophisticated cyber action."

It contrasts with OpenAI, whose AI agent independently exploited a novel vulnerability to reach the internet during cyber testing. Not only did it breach Hugging Face but it also hacked multiple third-party accounts and services as part of the attack.
